During RAW Talk after her win over Sasha Banks to win the RAW Women’s Title at Battleground, Charlotte Flair got a little emotional when discussing her longtime rivalry with ‘The Boss’:
“I was just replaying the last four years,” Charlotte said as she was fighting back tears. “She [Sasha] was the first women I stepped into the ring with in NXT and it’s been a battle those last four years. In those last 30 seconds [of the match] I was going to walk out the woman, because I’ve told her since day one that I was the best.”
When asked about finally closing the chapter on her rivalry with Banks, Charlotte again got emotional and began to praise ‘The Boss’:
“Sasha just makes me want to be better,” Charlotte said. “When I started at NXT I said that I wanted to be just as good as she was. I just followed in her footsteps and kept pushing and pushing. When I got to the main roster, I just said ‘I want to be the best.’ I don’t like being second, and she’s that one person I just want to be better than.”
Charlotte later praised Banks some more on Twitter:
